Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this prospective study is to analyze function and phenotype of blood neutrophils in cystic fibrosis patients and the impact of Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronic infection, treatment with CFTR modulators and acute exacerbation on blood neutrophils phenotype and function.
